Archives: September 2012

Without a doubt, 2012 has been a great year for ad agencies, from gaining new ad accounts and advertising for the Olympics, to agency mergers and selling up. Here is simply a list of the top 15 advertising agencies to work for.

This week saw Samsung launch their new Samsung Galaxy S3 advert. Funnily enough, during the same week another large company have chosen to launch their new product… not saying any names! I personally love this advert. I maybe a tad biased, owning a Galaxy myself (all be it the S2), but I find this advert fun, light-hearted, witty and has a good use of tongue in cheek.

I studied Advertising at Southampton Solent University and within about 2 months of starting my course, I realised what a competitive career I was looking to enter. Big ad agencies who handle accounts worth millions of pounds, only want to hire the best individuals. One of the ways in which you can ensure you’re “one of the best” is via work experience. In this post I’ll discuss why are work experience placements so important?
